    The whole 1234 thing is pretty do-able. The only time I struggled through years of doing classical stuff is one of the Enigma Variations (I forget which one, but it was the one which was kind of mirroring the ocean going liner engine) which was a much repeated slurred F to G sharp on the E string (I did it with 1 to 4 without shifting because otherwise there would have been a kind of sickly lurch!). Other than that it has never been an issue. My hands are fairly large, but not bonkersly so. I do not do as much classical stuff these days and will lapse into 1+4 for octaves (that is just laziness) but my intonation has never been an issue, or one for my pupils.

    I no longer have an MM bass so these are surplus to requirement. Anyone need them?

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='886799' date='Jul 5 2010, 10:49 PM']This looks interesting too. Not available yet though. [/quote] You are not wrong there! Any talk of price at all?

    Unless Mark had loads of these, I bought the body and neck when the original ads came up. [quote name='Dick Fontaine' post='922096' date='Aug 11 2010, 10:41 PM']Hi there, have you still got these parts for sale- if so how much would you like for them?! Cheers. Rich[/quote]

    [quote name='dood' post='918103' date='Aug 7 2010, 04:28 PM']I'll +1 for the MultiComp - It's brilliant. However, I have to say the TC Electronic Nova Dynamics trumps it - and can be bought new, cheaper. I have both and use the TC in my big rig - and throw the Multicomp in my bass bag pocket for jamming, should I need it.[/quote] You were glowing about the TC C300 some time ago (I am not stalking you). How does the TC Electronic Nova Dynamics compare?

    I do realise that this could be a contentious statement, but you could use 1 finger per semitone. It is probably easier to do this if you are kicked off by a teacher who espouses that technique. The thumb placement is key. There can be an element of pivot on the thumb.

    I would be happy to post to Ireland, but I'm afraid it has gone. Sorry, I should have updated the thread.

    I still use mine as my hifi amp 26 years after I bought it. Yes, there are better amps, but you have to wander up into multiple £100's. I do not need another, but how much?

    I have one of these. There is a real issue with pole pieces. It would work with blade magneted jazz pickups (EMG for instance) but the A on a P pick up is significantly louder because it passes over both halves of the pick up. Villex said that they would make me a P with blades in it with one coil shorter than the other so as to get a 3+2 thing going on. Unfprtunately by then I had promised to sell my P and could not go back on the deal. I miss it.

    I would love to say YES, but the reality is that I just do not know. They are both Boss and the thing is designed for use as an expression pedal so I would presume so, however I just do not know. I have been using it as an expression pedal with my Boss SYB-5 and it has been fine.

    Pics. Good idea! I will snap some this evening. I am in Bangor, North Wales. It is not heavy so courier would not be exorbitant.

    Bump for another reduction.

    I used to own a Chevin like this. Make no mistake, this is a proper power amp for a cheap and nasty price. I used mine to drive an Eden XLT410 and I NEVER wanted for more power or headroom, no matter how noisy things got. I cannot believe this is being offered at this price and is still here. The Chevin and Epi for that little outlay is just bonkers. The Epi is LOL funny when you lift it (been there also) and the Chevin is exceptionally light. Chevin is genuine, bombproof, last forever pro gear. Need it you know you do.

    Built like a bigger version of an EB vol pedal. Super beefy. Also useable as an expression pedal for Boss stuff (make your SYB 5 gurgle with hapiness) More info here [url="http://www.musiciansbuy.com/Boss_FV500H_Heavy_Duty_Mono_Volume_EXP_Pedal_FV500H.html"]http://www.musiciansbuy.com/Boss_FV500H_He...dal_FV500H.html[/url] As new with some velcro on the bottom. £50 posted
